04.14.24 (MP3): When Bureaucrats Attack the Garage Hour (A 2A/“Animals Attack” Redux) - Feds Push Grizzlies & Wolves Into CO & WA, Statists Molest the Constitution in Court (Some More); However, the Rulings Keep Going Our Way (So Keep Punching)

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

What does your Second Amendment right to defend your person, people and property have to do with the government-funded effort to reinvade rural lands with man-eating (and livestock-eating, dog-eating, kid-eating and small car-eating) apex predators? Federal interference in your life. …Government overreach, bureaucratic N.I.M.B.Y.ism, a collectivist enthusiasm for a forced march into urban squalor, and the slippery statist fever dream of an empowered state at the expense of you, me and we - the independent American. Sh!t’s getting weird fast - opt in to protect yourself...

04.08.24 (MP3): Break Contact w/ the Low-Info Zombies & Survive the Eclipse Apocalypse (& Other Sundry Gearhead Ruminations Like Cars, Booze, Beer & Blackouts, Hybrids VS Electrics, Hacktivists VS Hillclimbing, Hawks VS Turkeys) + Some Zep

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

Gearhead Consultants and Garage Hour hosts Justin Case and Marking Time met up high above the city to watch it all burn during our recent eclipsalypse. Rounds were chambered, pizza from Sprouts was et, and beers from Red Leg, Pike’s Peak, Outer Range and Dry Dock were sipped, but unfortunately, no pepperoni armed pajama perp apocalypse was thwarted, not even in the driveway. Fortunately, Justin and Justmark didn’t mind missing “shoot, shovel and shut up” because doin’s were to be discussed: a positive word or three about hybrid automotive technology, the growing dumbness...

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

So much good stuff… From better and worse James Bonds (Connery versus Moore, the right and wrong Brosnhan… Brosnan… Brosnahan…. Remington Steele, and the “other” Bonds) to Lotus Esprit (and which one) versus DB5, DB7, 750, and AMX versus Javelin, the Gearhead Consultancy promises to ricochet off the point. Bond guns. Bond villains. Octopussy versus A View to a Kill. Pussy Galore versus Verper Lynn. Add to that a celebration of crappy guns, like an A5 Remington 1911 that shoots itself, a break-action Rossi that only shoots on safe, and...

03.01.24: Reporting on Henchicrats Who’re After Your Guns (& Will Kill You w/ Wild Animals Next), Hertz Dumps CEO Because It Can’t Dump His Electric Cars (or Rent Them), Short-Bed Truck Function Envy, Necessary R.I.P.s & Some Doom

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

…Catching up with the episode backlog - only more to go. Played in and out by Snail (more happy bluesy doom, says Conan), this Garage Hour’s got everything you like. Cars and trucks (why to never buy a rental car, and diagnosing your short-bed problems), beers and guns (well, a ton of Second Amendment info about how states like Colorado and Kalifornistan are still seeking to disarm you shortly before seting grizzly bears and wolves loose in your back yard). There’s also chainsaw-grade shorts, the better “Blade Runner”, a look at how much ammo you keep (hint: probably not...

Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns

…Like a kid full of candy who won’t shut up and go to sleep, it’s the episode that would’t go to bed - so much doin’ and so little time. Well, it’s done: Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Porsche Boy JustMark met up in the hills for fine sopressata, Irish whiskey (that loved Justin but hated Mark) and a chat about pocket pistols - commonly called a “micro” nowadays. From Derringers to Jennings and S&Ws and LCPs, the gerhead consultants whip it out and compare misfires. When it was all said and done, it was just stuff we like (or like to hate): Jaegermeister,...
